About Michelle Bartell

We live in OHIO but travel often to the island. The first learned of the island and experienced its beauty in 2011. Our sister, Darcelle has lived on the island 15+ years. All it took was one visit and we fell in love with the area and immediately started looking for our a second home. Since then we have purchased 6 properties on the island and now manage properties for a few others. We have 2 little girls and this is their favorite vacation spot, there is so much for the little ones to do! There is truly no other place like SSI! It is not overly commercialized, but has just enough to do to keep tourists busy.

Michelle Bartell purchased this Condo in 2018

Why Michelle Bartell chose Saint Simons Heights

We purchased this particular property for many reasons. We wanted to buy a home that was within walking distance to some of our favorite spots on the island such as Southern Soul and Redfern Village. We also wanted the home to be situated in a complex with a nice pool, and this property definitely has it! The pool beautiful and clean! It is open year round and is heated 9 months out of the year. We hand chose this particular unit because of where it is situated within the complex. The condo overlooks beautiful lush landscaping and gorgeous oak trees (iconic for SSI). This creates a serene and peaceful space when sitting on the screened in patio. Other properties within the complex are not as private.

What makes this Condo unique

The beauty of the island is what attracted our family to this vacation spot, old oak trees with live moss line almost every street. This history of the island and the Golden Isles is intriguing and amazing! We love to share it with our guests so we include it in our guidebook! Also in our guidebook you will tons of information regarding places to go, things to do, and where to eat. We included itineraries for a budget- family friendly vacation, weekend getaways, nature lover's getaways, and road trips. We take out all the guess work so you can relax and truly enjoy your vacation!

The property was great! Close to beautiful beaches and just a short drive to Jekyll so we had multiple places to visit! It was clean and well equipped. The only downside that we really saw was the microwave on the property is in dire need of replacement. The face is falling off and there were times we couldn’t even get it to work. But other than that, it was a cute space to spend the weekend for my son’s first trip to the beach!

The accommodations were just as described in the listing description. The location was central to every point of interest St. Simon has to offer. The condo provided items for our every need of the vacation. Out beach days were made easy with the items on hand. We look forward to staying again soon.
